All support to the Malaghan goes directly towards helping our scientists find and develop new ways to use the power of the immune system to treat and cure disease!

By supporting the Malaghan Institute, you're helping our researchers gain a deeper understanding of our immune system and its relation to our health and disease. With this knowledge we can develop new, better, and lower cost treatments for disease that are more accessible to New Zealanders.

After you register you will receive a registration email with login details for you to set up your online fundraising page. This page is yours to create and manage! You can edit this page whenever you like by clicking on the ‘Edit My Page’ tab.

You can personalise your page with your own story and photos, as well as send out emails to collect donations and thank your donors or sponsors.

There are many different ways to promote your awesome fundraising event!

Social media like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter is a great way to get the word out there to your friends and family. Don't forget to use relevant hashtags and tag the Malaghan Institute in your posts so we can see what you're up to!

Also, don't underestimate the power of the gab! Word-of-mouth is also a highly-effective way to spread the word. 

Depending on the type of event, you might also want to contact your local media outlet, such as newspaper or radio, who might be interested in running a story on you and your fundraiser. If you do manage to line up media support, we'd love to hear about it and possibly assist you with it!

Setting up your online fundraiser page is well and good, but if you don't bring people along for the ride then you're missing out on a decent chunk of support! Here are some simple tips to keep people engaged before, during and after your event.

• Share your page. People need to know where they can find your page so they can support you and your event!
• Post regular updates. It's all about the journey! If you're event is something like a fun run or fitness challenge, make sure you keep people following your event engaged with things like pictures, videos, event live sessions of your training or preparation. It also helps to bring in more supporters! Even one post a week can make all the difference.
• Make use of tags and hashtags. Hashtags are a great way for supporters to track your updates and for new people to find you. Remember, you can also tag the Malaghan Institute on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - which gives us a chance to see what you're up to and possibly even share your efforts! Please note that the we won't be able to share every post from every fundraising event. 
• Let people know how it went. When you cross that finish line, host that event or finish that challenge, make sure you share your fantastic achievement with your supporters. After all, they've been there all along to see you achieve your goals!

Too many of our loved ones are suffering and dying from preventable diseases like cancer or allergic disease because we don’t yet know enough about them. But we do know the immune system holds the key to better treatments and cures. With your support we discover new ways to treat and prevent these diseases from taking our loved ones.

By supporting the Malaghan Institute you will be helping our researchers gain a deeper understanding of the complex and powerful nature of the immune system, knowledge that lets us develop new, better, and lower cost treatments that are accessible for all New Zealanders.

You can help us to harness the power of the immune system and save lives.

Your donation will help us find better, more effective ways to treat and cure diseases that are robbing the lives of too many of our loved ones.

With greater support, the greater effort we can put towards finding new solutions to diseases from cancer to COVID-19, hepatitis B to asthma, Crohn’s disease to colitis. The longer we attack a question, the closer we get to an answer, to a breakthrough treatment. To make meaningful inroads into how to leverage the power of the immune system against some of the most prevalent diseases of our time, we need to provide our world leading scientists with the space, resources, and support to do so - and this heavily relies on funding from the community.

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help ensure we can keep the pace of our science and discovery going uninterrupted.
